MANUFACTURE OF TURN ED SHOE S. I

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 769,163, dated September 6, 1904.

A Application filed May 25, 1903. Serial No.'158,731. No model.)

T aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I,- WILHELM HUBRICH, shoe manufacturer, a citizen of the German Empire, and a resident of No. 26 Kaiser Wilhelmstrasse, in the city of Berlin, .Kingdom of Prussia, and Empire of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Turned Shoes, of which the following is a specification.

In the manufacture of light shoes, especially house-shoes or house-slippers, many drawbacks still show themselves, On the one side the manufacture of the same is too expensive;

- on the other, the manufacture by the-work ing hands engaged in the same at present is beset with difliculties. To remove these drawbacks, the object of: this invention'is to provide shoes of the kind which in addition to their lightness are cheap and quite as durable Figure 1 shows the shoe with'upper leather cut 01f on the line C D of Fig. 2, .while Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line A B of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows the mode of stitching together the upper leather and covering of the sole; and Fig. 4: shows in a sectional view, on an enlarged scale, a piece of sole with the covering pasted on and upper leather stitched on.

For manufacturing this shoe the upper 0,

withthe lining d, is placed under the sole a,

the covering Z2 is glued to the same, Fig. 3, and nowupper leather, the lining, and the covering of the sole are stitched together at a distance fromthe edge of the sole equal to" the thickness of the same. A backstitch varying in width according 'to the thickness ofthe sole is best suited for this. Now the upper stuff is turnedthat is to say, the upper leather 0, together with the covering t, projecting over the edge of the sole, is bent around-the sole. The seam f, over the sole, will thus be close to the edge, Figs. 2 and 4:, so that the foot will not step' on the seam. As can be seen, especially from Figs. 2 and I, the real sole a, of pasteboard'or other material, is providedon theoutside with a covering b, of canvas, leather, or other material, which is stitched together with the upper leatherc and any lining of the same at f in the above-described manner, Fig. 3. After the shoe has been turned, Fig. 4, the edges 0 of the upper leather, lining, and covering can be united by basting or tacking threads on the inside of the sole, Fig. '1; but this is not absolutely necessary, as the whole is already tightly stretched around the sole a without this. After putting in a filling a there is laid over the whole inner breadth'of the shoe an insole of any material.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States,

The process of making turned shoes consist- ILHELM HUBRIGH.
